Researchers at the University of Louisville are studying Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes bubonic and pneumonic plague, to understand its capacity to evade the immune system. The immune system’s first responders, neutrophils, summon aid by emitting molecules called Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), but Yersinia pestis can block these signals.

A doctoral student also received a $100k grant from the NIH to research how Yersinia pestis changes vesicles produced by immune cells.
